Once again we have another story that has been picked up in a big way by the Blogosphere but is currently being ignored by the mainstream media. And this time the story is huge. If you've seen the Drudge Report today you will know exactly which story this is; the audio of a 2001 interview on Chicago public radio station WBEZ FM in which Barack Obama explicitly calls for the "redistribution of wealth." You won't find any information about this blockbuster story in the MSM just yet but as been very typical lately, you can be informed on this topic on the Blogosphere including this report from Steve Schippert of Wizbang who posted it at 1:20 this morning while the members of the MSM were complacently sleeping, comfortable in the knowledge that Obama probably had the election in the bag:
The audio of a Barack Obama radio interview below is stunning. Unfortunately, it will probably stun few. For once the word "Constitution" is mentioned, electoral eyes roll into the backs of voters' heads as memories of a boring high school history class in a hot, dusty classroom emerge in the place of contemplation of the founding principles of this nation.
Speaking of the Warren Court its interpretation of the Constitution during the Civil Rights movement, Obama said, "It wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution. At least as it's been interpreted and more important interpreted in the same way that, generally, the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties; says what the states can't do to you, what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the state government or federal government must do on your behalf."

Have you heard about the birth certificate on the MSM?? If it hurts 0bama...you won’t hear it...
Will believe it when I hear or see it.
Newspaper editors and TV producers are well practiced at ignoring wire service stories or national media stories which harm Obama.
They are also well-practiced at negating an Obama 'sin' by making it appear that McCain (or another Republican) advocates the same thing, or some such distortion.
Never underestimate the ability of liberal (subconscious or otherwise) networks to shill for Obama and the Democrats.
I've worked in the business and see it occur over and over.
Got it. Highlighted and sent to el Rushbo. Also posted on my blogs.
